Congressional Art Competition

 

 

 

Attention High School Students: Do you have artistic talent?  Consider entering this year’s Congressional Art Competition, sponsored by the House of Representatives.

 

 

Each district’s winner receives national recognition.  If you win, your art work will be prominently displayed for one year in the passageway to the U.S. Capitol.

 

Additionally, Southwest Airlines provides you and one parent or guardian with airfare to Washington, DC for the winners’ ceremony.  Starting this year, the Savannah College of Art and Design is offering the potential to qualify for an artistic scholarship as well.
